Default Crazy pictures from an airshow crash

Wow, that's insane.

Video.. wow that one pilot is lucky to be alive, but he probably wishes he was dead.

Why would you ever wish you were dead?

If a couple of my best friends just died in a crash that I by chance avoided, I'd feel pretty bad for a while. Maybe even question if I caused it.

It's amazing that air shows are still as popular as they are. With the frequency of accidents I'd never go because I'd hate to contribute to something that kills so many people for such little reason.

Must be one of those things where if it is in your blood, nothing will stop you.

A guy in Edmonton at the Bon Jovi concert had his neck broken such that he can't even cough without assistance. He's a quadrapalegic now. I imagine I would wish I was dead if I was in that position.
